Are we in an artificial intelligence revolution? “We will know in only a few years how serious the consequences will be.”

AI watermark

Hind Decker Abdulaziz, Member of Parliament D66 who specializes in information and communication technology and privacy, participates in the European rules on artificial intelligence in the House of Representatives. Earlier this year, she became the first ever politician to submit a proposal written entirely by ChatGPT. Decker: “I was impressed with the quality. But nonetheless you see the risks right away. They are indistinguishable from real human work.”

According to Christina Erion, Senior Lecturer at the Information Law Institute at the University of Amsterdam, it is important to find a way to make AI products known as such. Erion: “You can think of a watermark. This technology should also be able to provide that the product clearly indicates that it was created with the help of artificial intelligence.”

Robots that can read emotions

In addition to the risks, there are also many opportunities. University of Twente AI professor Vanessa Evers cites healthcare as one example where AI is already being used. Evers: “There’s a huge understaffing there and AI can be used for many tasks.”

“Think about administrative tasks, but now robots have also reached the point where they can read human emotions from faces. Of course, this must be done carefully, it is about people and health, but we should not be afraid only of artificial intelligence. Absolutely not. It saves a lot Unbelievable opportunities.”
